i was thinking, why don't they clone more people. why can't they make people like they print money. why not 3d clone printers? they can print semi-automatic machine guns now. won't that cut into the nra? funny we always had the nra but never the era. if the birth rate's falling, and more and more people are getting cancer and making suicide, and they need more people to fund the military industrial complex, why can't they just make them? clones could easily operate drones. they wouldn't be able to resist, presumably, they'd be genetically suited to obedient control. they wouldn't even think of free will let alone freedom. but would they be like wards of the empire, like slaves, and have to be fed and housed by the corporation? no, that wouldn't work. they'd have to have enough free will to be slaves hoping for freedom. they'd have to pay taxes. you can't tax clones you own. would they vote? silly, why would a clone vote, might as well vote for yourself and not bother running. clones would all be equal and not even considered slaves. but then what about the prison industrial complex? and inequality is fun. watch them squirm. haha, the precariot. priceless. and the drug industry? people need drugs for they are mentally and physically ill. clones wouldn't know from adam. am i ill? i never really thought about it. what was the question? a lot of revenue would be lost with clones, maybe more than the declining birth rate and suicide and cancer combined. that's another thing, clones wouldn't rebel, but they also wouldn't get cancer, go bankrupt, get suckered into pyramid schemes. it's hard to think about this stuff, but i begin to understand how it works, it's not as easy and printing funny money or toy guns that kill like real ones. they need old style natural resources to keep the extractive economy burning and free will to keep the whole slave economy singing. the dirge of freedom ain't free.
